Well over 200 at the Your Party rally in Manchester tonight. Biggest cheers for calls to end Zero Hours contracts; for blaming the billionaires not migrants; for defending trans+ people and smashing racism.

Two things are both true: 1. Marjorie Taylor Greene is alarmingly batshit crazy. 2. Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the sanest voices in the Republican party.

A new statue of Emperor Valerian kneeling before Sassanian king, Shapur 1st, is unveiled in Tehran. This stuff is cool. Build one of Alfred defeating Guthrum at Edington. Much more fun than some random civil servant or slave trader.

Sounds like an interesting book, on how West Germany was let off its debt in 1953. It should be especially interesting to anyone from Greece.

Wow, this is huge. Looks like the Dutch are ready to "unseize" Nexperia and give control of the company back to its Chinese owner. Which means, effectively, that China won. There was, after all, zero rational for the seizure anymore. As a reminder, the Dutch seized Nexperia

There is no ceasefire. It's a lie. More than 200 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli government since Trump claimed a ceasefire was achieved. The Israeli government never even stopped bombing Lebanon. They are still committing war crimes. https://t.co/3YfICafKv7
